A simple longitudinal bead from which a small image has been carved. This is a so-called Pataikos figure, who resembles Bes (prominent belly with short and twisted legs). His face, however, is that of a man with succinct but precise features. The ears of the figure were placed very low down, allowing for a hole to be pierced through the head and eventually to suspend the figurine on a string.

Une perle simple, longitudinale, a servi de matériau d'origine pour une petite figurine taillée dans la masse. Il s'agit d'un petit personnage, dit Pataikos, adoptant l'attitude de Bès (ventre proéminent sur petites jambes courtes et torses). Sa figure est toutefois celle d'un homme, aux traits sommaires mais précis. Les oreilles sont placées très bas pour permettre l'aménagement d'un trou, perçant la tête de part en part afin de suspendre la figurine à un fil.
